Posted By Robert K Lewis Dave Overall responsibility for safety on site has to reside with the most senior site based person on site employed by the contractor holding the main contract. The SO will report to him either as a direct reporting line or as an "indirect" with direct responsibility to a manager elsewhere in the organisation. This is much as happens in most organisations. MS/RA approval normally depends on how the site management is structured but would normally be joint among the site team. No they do not have any particular guidelines as this again is a matter for each individual organisation. Subject only to the broad guidance for all risk assessments Bob
